Ah, the B type developer. Knows enough to find exciting and interesting problems but doesn’t know how to distinctly separate a type C (who can’t solve the problem at all) from a type A ( who knows the problem in and out and knows “it depends”). Not all that different to me from midlevel dev who learns about concurrency/metaprogramming/etc and starts using it as a tool for everything. Just enough to be dangerous.


They like to pretend their asking high level system design questions while actually quizzing candidates on esoteric low-level details.
